I have never cooked a turkey in an oven bag, but I have used them for other things and really like how juicy and tender the meat is. I'm thinking about using one for my Thanksgiving turkeybut have a couple of questions. If I cook my turkey in a Reynolds Oven bag, will it get golden brown? Also, how long per pound do you cook it in an oven bag (unstuffed)? Thank you!

What can I do next?

I have been using a bag for about 7 years now. I love it. Yes it gets brown..golden,delicious and juicy. I can't wait for Thursday!! The directions on the bag tell you how much time per pound. It will cook faster than without a bag. I usually cook a 25 pounder and I think it takes about 2.5-3 hours.

Good luck and best wishes at eating your best turkey yet!!

There should be directions as to what temperature and for how long on the Reynold's package.

Mine turned golden brown...I rubbed with a tiny bit of olive oil and a tiny bit of maple syrup before I put it in the oven. I think mine was only a 13 pounder and I had to bake it in the oven for 2.5 hrs. It was SO good!!! :) Good luck. :-)
